High-Profile B.C. RCMP Inspector Tim Shields Charged With Sexual Assault

The Canadian Press, 10 May, 2016 11:28 AM
    VANCOUVER — A high-profile RCMP officer once in charge of the Mounties' communications strategy at E Division in Vancouver has been charged with sexual assault.
     
    The Criminal Justice Branch says a charge has been sworn against Insp. Tim Shields as a result of an investigation into sexual misconduct, which is alleged to have occurred between 2009 and 2010.  
     
    The justice branch says in a news release that the complainant was a civilian employee who worked in co-ordination with the communication unit headed by Shields.
     
     
    He appeared in Vancouver provincial court today and will be back in court on June 27.
     
    Shields was suspended with pay a year ago.
     
    Mounties said at the time that his suspension was due to a code-of-conduct investigation.
